By Colonel H.C. Wylly
Published by MacMillan And Co Limited: London 1912 1st Edition

" From the Black Mountain to Waziristan by H.C. Wylly is a historical military account detailing British military campaigns and operations on the North-West Frontier of British India (modern-day Pakistan) during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Brigadier-General H.C. Wylly, a British officer, provides an in-depth analysis of British engagements against various tribal groups in regions like the Black Mountain (Tor Ghar) and Waziristan. The book covers key conflicts, including punitive expeditions, battles with Pashtun tribes, and British strategies to maintain control over the volatile frontier.

It serves as both a military history and an ethnographic study, shedding light on the geography, people, and tribal dynamics of the region. Wylly also discusses the challenges faced by British forces in dealing with tribal uprisings and resistance movements."
